Moremyrk
"MMXXII
Demos"
Dawnbreed Rec. 2023
Today we take a
trip to Indonesia, because that's where Moremyrk comes from. The band, in two
thousand and twenty, released, by the closer to me unknown Grieve Records
Jakarta, a demo simply titled "MMXXII". As this tape sold out rather
quickly, the European reissue of the said demo was handled by the Dutch
Dawnbreed Records. As befits a demo, the material is not very long, as it
closes in eighteen minutes. However, this much is usually enough to know
whether the further fate of the band is worth following or can be poured over
with a warm urine. In the case of Moremyrk, even if urine drips down our legs,
it's more out of excitement. The three tracks included on "MMXXII
Demos" are old-school death metal for those who like simplicity. Above
all, there is nothing pleasant about these sounds, no signs of flirtation with
other musical genres, no catchy melody straight out of a country disco, no keys
or extracurricular instrumentation. Instead, there are coarse chords, which can
be associated mainly with the ruthlessly genre-defying metal of death, from
early Death, up to more swampy and graveyard revues you may know from, for
example, the contemporary work of Eternal Rot. Speed ups here are few. The
harmonies flow mostly to the rhythm of a pulse of a death welcoming, beginning
to rot alive a wretch. Moremyrk create in a simple but not clichéd way, and not
repetitive. Each of their compositions is slightly different from the others,
and in addition to chords looped in a sludge manner, we are often treated to
some trifle, such as a completely surprising tremolo in the background or a
sudden, not necessarily obvious change of tempo. This, however, does not throw
the listener off the omnipresent stench of decay, made worse by illegible,
reverb-laden vocals, sounding like a slime-choked drowning man. The sound of
these recordings is a real composter, with a natural odor of decay. Well, I
wouldn't even imagine it a different way. If I add that Dawnbreed Records once
again took exceptional care of the aesthetic qualities of the tape they
released, I can't help but sincerely recommend its acquisition. Because it's a
simple thing, but gives fun as fuck!
